Pods finished! now i just need to buy my last two gauges.....






The bottom piece where it changes camo, is tucked behind the dash... I wasnt going to kill my self to make a piece you'll never see perfect lol.

when i get it installed in the truck, i'll get some better HD shots and some of it lit up.

Nope, they are lights for the 91.5-93. Just amber lenses.

well one more expensive step closer to finished. Transmission fluid, motor oil, and power steering fluid (really need to buy a new steering box).

Then a couple extra goodies, bought a couple drop hitches and *****, and a new tow strap since a toyota toasted my old one the first time my transmission broke down in the canyon.

hopefully more updates when i get home on tuesday.

Well were back on track. picked up a set of used injectors from a buddy. stock and probably worn out, but at least the truck will run.

then i ordered my last 2 gauges, my intake/cone filter, and a 3200 spring.

Now for the down side. i wont be back in town until the 20th... so no good updates until then, but on the 20th... it should be a big huge update!

Where did you get them? I've looked for them and can't find a place that sells them?
